Calculation of TANCET Percentile Score

A frequent query among the TANCET test takers is ‘how is percentile score calculated’. The process to calculate the TANCET percentile score requires the candidates to solve the basic mathematical equation of calculating percentage. The formula to calculate the percentile score in TANCET is mentioned below:

The formula for TANCET Percentile Score

TANCET Percentile Mark = Y/N × 100

In the table above, N denotes the number of test takers in a particular course. While Y is the number of candidates with an actual score lower than a particular candidate’s score.

For example, Mohit has an actual score of 67 in the TANCET MBA exam, to calculate his percentile score, he should know the total number of candidates who took the MBA exam. Additionally, Mohit must have the knowledge of the total number of test takers with an actual score lower than 67 marks.

Q:   Which TANCET score would be used for admissions into TANCET MBA colleges? I have an actual score of 29.33 and a percentile score of 87.678.

A:
Directorate of Technical Education, Chennai, only considers TANCET percentile score. TANCET actual score is calculated by allotting 1 mark each for the correct response and deducting 1/3 mark for each incorrect response. The actual score can be converted into a percentile score after evaluating the total test takers with an actual score that is less than a particular test taker. For example, Mohan has an actual score of 59 marks, and 95% of the total test takers secured an actual score below 59. In such a case, the percentile score of Mohan will be 95. Similarly, if 98% of the test takers had secured an actual score less than 59, Mohan would get 98 as his percentile score in TANCET exam. Further, DTE allots TANCET rank based on the percentile score of the test taker eligible for the counselling process.

Q:   Does TANCET colleges publish last ranks statement or cutoff scores?

A:
TANCET participating colleges do not release a cutoff score or a cutoff rank. Participating colleges prepare a cutoff score list or last rank list to select candidates for admission. However, this list is not released before the admission process is closed. Directorate of Technical Education, Chennai, releases the TANCET cutoff rank as well as the TANCET cutoff marks for all participating colleges in a consolidated list. The cutoff report for admission based on TANCET is released with the counselling details of the upcoming session. That is DTE will release a consolidated list of college-wise TANCET 2022 cutoff along with the Tamil Nadu MBA 2023 counselling details.

Q:   What are the factors affecting TANCET cut off for SRM Easwari Engineering College?

A:

The factors affecting TANCET cut off for SRM Easwari Engineering College are:
Number of applicants: The number of applicants applying for a particular course can affect the cutoff. If the number of applicants is high, the cutoff may increase.
Number of seats: The number of seats available for a particular course can also affect the cutoff. If the number of seats is limited, the cutoff may increase.
Difficulty level of the qualifying exam: The difficulty level of the TANCET exam can also affect the cutoff. If the exam is difficult, the cutoff may decrease.
Previous year cutoff trends: The cutoff trends of the previous years can also affect the current year's cutoff. If the cutoff has been increasing over the years, it may continue to increase in the current year as well.

Q:   What is the lowest TANCET cutoff to join PSG College of Technology for MBA course?

A:

PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, is among the top MBA colleges accepting TANCET scores for admission. As per the TANCET cutoff from 2021 and 2020 session, candidates who had secured more than 99 percentile were admitted to the college for MBA Admission.

Generally if a candidate is ranked within top 130 test takers, he she has a higher chance of getting into PSG College of Technology. Candidates can get the TANCET rank list and TANCET cutoff scores/ranks from the previous session available on the Tamil Nadu MBA Admission website.

Q:   As I completed the TANCET exam and I scored 73.5 percentile in tancet MBA, can I get a place in Krishnamal college for women for MBA?

A:
Hello Karpagalakshmi Padmarajan, this college for women had reported cutoffs around 60 in previous years. Considering this, i am sure that you will get admission since you have a score of 73. If course cutoff varies for different categories of students. To help you I am attaching a link that will give you all the required information. https://www.shiksha.com/college/psgr-krishnammal-college-for-women-coimbatore-22882/cutoff Best wishes to you.

In case 22849 candidates took the TANCET MBA exam, and 12200 candidates have an actual score of less than 67 marks, the calculation of Mohit’s percentile score in the TANCET MBA exam will be done as mentioned below:

  • Y = 12200
  • N = 22849

Mohits Percentile Score in TANCET MBA = 12200/22849 × 100

Based on the equation above, Mohit’s TANCET percentile score, who secured 67 actual marks, will be 53.39 per cent.

What is TANCET Rank 2024?
